“This was Weston Ranch Little League’s first championship of any kind,” Keough said.

The title also serves as the highlight of a highly-successful postseason for a Little League organization that is starting to make a name for itself.

“A lot of good people have committed to the league, board members, parents and players,” Keough said. “The kids are coming in and developing. I’ve been with the league for six years, and things are starting to happen for us.

“This is what we’ve been striving for, and it has happened because everyone has worked so hard.”

Weston Ranch will now head to its first ever Section 2 All-Star Tournament, which will kick off in a week.
